Description

The Halsey Needle Holder is a compact needle holder used for fine suturing in plastic, reconstructive, dermatological, and general surgery. It is a good fit for procedures where the surgeon needs a smaller instrument for handling and placing surgical needles.

The jaws have tungsten carbide inserts with fine serrations. The serrated surface helps hold the needle firmly and keeps it from turning while the suture is being placed. Tungsten carbide is also well suited to repeated use because of its resistance to wear.

At 13 cm (5″), the instrument sits comfortably in the hand without taking up much space around the working area. The relatively short length makes it easier to make small adjustments while positioning the needle. Its fine jaws are also useful when visibility around the needle is important.

The ratchet mechanism keeps the jaws closed once they have been engaged. This gives the surgeon a steady hold on the needle during suturing and avoids having to maintain constant pressure on the handles.

The instrument is made from surgical-grade stainless steel. Before supply, it is checked for proper jaw alignment, ratchet movement, the condition of the tungsten carbide inserts, and the general finish of the instrument. The stainless-steel body is suitable for routine cleaning and maintenance as part of reusable surgical instrumentation.

The Halsey Needle Holder is available in a 13 cm (5″) size with fine serrated tungsten carbide jaws, making it suitable for controlled needle handling during fine suturing.
